Thu Itult ! Mountain .Mines. During the last two years the norther "Wyoming newspapers have had much to sn nbout Uald mountain gold mines , says th Cheyenne Sun. What they have said has o the whole been true as the present operr tlons warrant. The Unld mountain district is a pcculln gold camp , being wholly unlike any other 1 the United States ana probably In th world. In speaking of the formation tn bedrock of the placers is granite , but lyin \lpon the bedrock Is a/conglomerate of ur known thickness. This conglomerate iscalle cement nnd from test runs contains , fre Bold. The gulches contain places cu through the conglomerate , and It has bee ninny times asset ted Hint the gold placet MO the result of the dccomposition of th conglomerate , which lias u thickness of nc loss than llfty feet. The extent of this cor glomerate la not known , but , being a geoloj leal formation , is liable to bo many squat miles. The locations in the camp nro man hundred and are represented by many ver strong companies. The chief mining is being done on place LA grounds at present , but should tlio conglon cnito nrovo to bo worth $2 per ton in fre gold , this camp will make the largest nn most urolltiible gold camp In Wyoming , There nro now the following companies ti work : Fortunatus , Sbendnn Mining an .MiUlntr company , UufTalo Mining and Mil Ing company nnd the Denver company ; bi sides these thcro nro a largo number of pro pectors nnd miners working assessment and operating sluices. Chief among tno operators is the Fo tunatus company which hns already spot upwards of $50,000 for machinery and dove opincnt. The manager of the company , I II. Hawkins , remarked that on n test run i five days , ton hours each day , that the Bi cyrus amalgamator has saved $1 per cub yard. The compi.ny Is now erecting n no Bucyrus amalgamated and has saved U cubic yards in ten hours , nt a cost of 10 con per cubic yard.

Ho puts particular stress up the evident volcanic eruption and eas traces the veins of mineral bearing ere the croppings and surface formation , every case where ho has sunk n shut largo vein of ore has been diselosed , Tin nro four veins running parallel. The llrsi thirty-five foot wide , the second Is a thirty-five feet , the third twenty-four f < nnd llio forth Is estimated to bo 100 foot width. . Tlio ere concentrates at nn nvorago of 7 1 , giving a concentrate that ylolds from ! to 10 in gold per ton. The mill and furnt test that wns made last spring In Dem yielded llld.yo per ton in concentrates. Ti ere can bo mined nnd milled at a handso prollt , us It is very easily worked. Kiel ere has lately been struck in a tunnel whl was commenced on the 10th of July. Tl ore yields $10 in gold nnd two ounces silver per ton of rock. Tlio tunnel will t three of the most important veins and w n few side cuts will put the property In callent shape for business. It is estimal that nn expenditure of $5.000 in dovelopmi work will make it possible to take out tons of ere per day.

FEAR PRODUCES IDLENESS Free Trade Throats n Potent Factor in Business Depression. EFFECT ON IRON ORE INDUSTRIES The Tariff n llnlwark Agnlnst Clicnp I.nbor Vroduot * llcniovo U nnil Ituln I'ollowa View * of th oT Michigan. , Mich. , Aug. 12. [ Correspond' encoof Tiin BKK. ] In nil the periods ol financial depression that have heretofore overtaken the United States , the iron mdu - try in its various branches has first felt -it ! effects. The iron works are first In num ber , first In value of products nnd more nearly In touch with the people than any other class of product manufactured , It looking for cause of disturbance In financial Hurries , wo must look to those who pro duce the raw material for reason : why they cannot mlno choapoi and soil cheaper , or why they cannot mlno al all. all.Tho The present existing tariff on Iron ere li 75 cents per ton. But for this Impost , then Is not a mlno in either Wisconsin or Mlchl gnu that could mine nnd ship n ton of ere a a profit , and oven with this impost there li mined nnd shipped to this country fron Cuba vast quantities of oro. This Cubai ere Is shipped ns far west ns Pittsburgh nnd were the tariff taken off It could to shipped ns much further west nt 75 conti ( the tariff ) would pay the freight. There nro hundreds of people who roai th Is article who , with an Income of fron $2,000 to $ H,000 a /ear or moro , say : "If thi minors did not receive such largo wages,1 otc. I would like to nsk such persons "Could you bilng up a family , educate am clothe them on nn income of $1.50 per day ? ' This Is the average amount that the nvor ago miner and helper in and out ot a inlm receives. Cuban miners receive leas thai 50 cents per day , and it is no wonder the ; can compete With us. The democratic party assembled nt Chicagi as n cardinal principle nflirmcd that "th' ' tariff should bo reduced to a basis of rovonui only , " The democratic state convention o Ohio of two days since roafllrmcd this dqc trine. Now can any sane mai wonder that with "tariff revision' staring them in the face , the urea ! rolling mill magnates refuse to buy furtho stocks of ore , or that the mines refuse ti produce more ! I wish to take ono town in Michigan am illustrate by actual llguros taken from om who is thoroughly posted nnd who is as gooi authority on such subjects as any man ii Michigan. I refer to Captain Scadden o Crystal Falls , manager of three of tin largest mines there. One year ago the group of mines in am adjacent to Crystal Falls comprised the foi lowing , and employing about the number o "anils given : Production Name. tons.

On orders pri piously taken over a year ago , and on whic d balance is unshipped , there are still shij monts being made from the stock pilei Ordinarily theroaro about 500,000 tons carric on stock piles. Al present there uro enl about 100,000 tons.on hand. Of all these mines named but six are boin kept pumped out , with a strong liklljioo that only two will continue. When thot mines are filled with water they rapidly los "n value , it costing from $3,000 to $0OUO 1 mmp them out and takes from one to si inonths. There is n reason , of course , f ( their stopping. Go to any mine owner an his answer is exactly what twenty other will give , vi : "Tho rolling mills refuse I buy until they Know whether congress wi take off the tariff. If it does they can bt cheaper nnd until the matter is settled v will not mine or they buy. " Now whether u man is a democrat ( whether ho is a republican , these fac speak for themselves nnd the conclusions a ) logical nnd need no prejudices one way < other to assist in making the deductions. It is only repetition to speak of the lumbi business , but I cannot refrain from gtvir the views of Mr. Foster of the Hnrmc Lumber company of Foster City , Mich : "V nro making no now sales of lumber. Buye refuse to purchase until they know whoth the Canadian lumber is to bo admitted fr of duty. If no change is made In the preset tariff , wo will make a heavy cut of logs tli winter. " I visited a mine in Ishpoming. Mich , , yc torday. where a now method ot loading o into cars is in operation. A steam shov docs the business , and loads n car in ju four minutes. 1 walked dry shod clc tfirouuh Lake Angelino. This lake was beautiful'shect of water about a mile lo nnd a quarter wide , with an nvorago dep of llf teen foot , but there worn two or thr mines whose richest ere laid under the la and the water Interfered with mining , they went to work and pumped the lakodi While providence has not been very lavi with farming lands up hero , yet it spre rocks around in very careless manner , Soi of the rocks are valuable. I am now rofi Ing to a mine of white marble just discover nt Foster City , Mich. The Northweste railroad is now putting in a branch two a one-half miles long to the quarry. T marble is a clear white and compares favt ably with any I over saw. A largo block w taken out and sent to Chicago to see if would tuxo u high polish , and if the cdp would cut well and not crumble. I am : formed that the owners will at once begin quarry and ship. Thu streets of most any mining town 1 come so impregnated with iron that II ff minutes walk in the dust will convert a PI of black shoos into n fair imitation of n sett shoes , thu solljip hero being nil reel. The silver question docs not moot with t consideration in this country that I thinl is entitled to , Kvery onu hero who thinks nil is interested in the tariff. It is tl which affects this section , and brings oltl prosperity or Us opposite. A man put tl query 4 to mo the other day : "Iron in iincii times passed nti matiov. Now , if 00 cei worth of silver is , witli government 11 good for a dollar , why wouldn't 1 cc worth of iron with government stamp p : ns a dollar ? liottei still if it is tint gave ment stamp that makes the value why wo greenbacks do alone , " C , F.

" The financial failure of the Comcdlo Fran- caiso company In London Is ascribed com monly to the high terms exacted by tin French manager. These compelled an in crease of the ordinary admission fee , and the British public did not care enough about French acting to pay so much money for the privilege of seeing it.
